Some of you are writing in all like "WAAAH I AM NOT ALLOWED TO COMMENT AT WONKETTE, HOME FAMOUS WORLD OF ASSFUCKING AND DICK JOKES!" You would like to know if you have been banned? Well, obviously the answer is of course you have. The other answer is "oh, been using Adblocker Plus, which has lately taken to blocking Wonkette's very very stupid commenting system of choice, IntenseDebate? YA BUSTED!!1!"
So, you know, stop using that. (IT IS STEALING ANYWAY. Unless you are already sending us money, which would be The Right Thing To Do, in which case Adblock your little hearts out!)
At any rate, IntenseDebate is really getting to the end of its useful life; it hasn't had any support in years and years, and has been steadily circling the same drain into which we put Evan Gahr's RSS feed.
So, as we've threatened before, we will be making the jump to Disqus sooner than later. Your work blocks it? TOO FUCKING BAD. The good news is there will be a generalized #shamnesty for all the commenters we've banned over the years; the bad news is they will probably asshole up real quick-like anyway, in which case they will be banned again. Best go reserve your commenter name at Disqus, like, vite yo.
This has been a public service announcement.
Doesn't look as though I'll be making the move. Cannot tell if I set up a "qwerty" over there years ago or not (keep getting an error re address/name but believe I set it up ... a looooooooooong time ago), so hope the new home is nice.
And now they are changing the privacy policy so basically you are at the mercy of all their vendors.
